DESCRIPTION <\/strong><\/p>\n

Snare drums are the lifeblood of music. The materials, tuning, and way they are played tell us exactly how and what we should feel about a composition. Snare drums should be honored, but instead, they are often poorly recorded, heavily manipulated, or replaced entirely for various reasons.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Snare Mic is the only purpose-built FET condenser microphone made explicitly for snare drums. It ensures that each snare drum’s distinct characteristics, impact, tone, and dynamics are captured with sample-quality sound at the microphone. Snare Mic\u2019s frequency response, SPL handling, and ultra-high dynamic range are made to ensure chest-pounding fundamental frequencies, tangible timbre, and explosively musical top-end impact with every note. Add on Snare Mic\u2019s ability to reject up to 28dB of off-axis sounds, and you get professional, mix-ready results straight out of the box.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MASSIVE SOUND. MINIMIZED BLEED<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snare Mic captures a snare drum’s true impact, body, and timbre while rejecting up to 28dB of off-axis sounds. This means clear, mix-ready sonics with optimal phase coherence straight out of the microphone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ONE AND DONE\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

A single Snare Mic can replace the traditional multi-mic setup needed to capture the full spectrum of a snare drum. Its 3D sound even lets you hear the bottom snares through the top head when Snare Mic is placed at lower positional angles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SMALL BUT MIGHTY<\/strong><\/p>\n

At only 4.2 inches, placement on even the most densely populated drum kit becomes effortless. And its vibration-resistant capsule means Snare Mic is ideal for both stand and rim-mounted applications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MADE FOR REAL-WORLD USE
\n<\/strong>A solid brass headframe with a mildew-resistant dust filter protects Snare Mic from stick hits, dust, and debris on stage or in the studio.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

EVERY SNARE EVERY TIME<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snare Mic is not an instrument mic that works on snare drums. It is purpose-built to ensure the best snare drum sound in every situation, regardless of player, snare type, or location.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LAUTEN LINEAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snare Mic\u2019s hand-tuned capsule and dual-bias circuitry are based on the same technologies utilized in Lauten Audio\u2019s award-winning Synergy Series microphones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

ONBOARD SOUND SHAPING<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Snare Mic\u2019s filters differ from those found on a mixing console, preamp, or DAW. Their impact on sonics and overall performance is much more significant than the labeling may lead you to believe.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flat High Cut <\/strong>\u2013 Snare Mic\u2019s unaltered high-frequency response is designed for mix-ready sound. It maximizes stick crack and playing dynamics while delivering open, lifelike top-end air.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

12kHz High Cut<\/strong> \u2013 Smooth out high-end for a dynamic microphone-style sound. This setting balances the microphone’s sound and adds a dip after 7kHz to help reduce cymbal bleed, followed by a slight increase from 12kHz-15kHz to help maintain a natural, open snare attack.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5kHz High Cut<\/strong> \u2013 Reduce extreme bleed caused by cymbal or stage volume. This setting creates a much smoother response from 1kHz-7kHz, with a slight rise in the 5-7kHz range, followed by an immediate drop-off after 7kHz so that more character, presence, and attack can be EQ\u2019d back into a sound without accentuating problematic high-frequency information.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Flat Low Cut<\/strong>– Allow all low-frequency information to pass for chest-pounding bottom-end with each snare strike.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

80Hz Low Cut<\/strong> \u2013 Reduce low-frequency spillover from kick drums and toms while adding a slight presence boost to the sound of your snare drum.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

140Hz Low Cut<\/strong> \u2013 Retain the presence boost of your snare drum\u2019s fundamental frequency while significantly reducing phase incoherence and spillover from kick drums and toms.<\/p>\n
